help/suggestions with fog lights

[JdH23OBX]

Got them from Wild Horses. Love them. Amber stays on all the time (switch 5) and switch 2 to turn on white spots

Diode Dynamics? Is that the same combo as below?

I love my Morimoto(s). I won't get into why I like the Morimoto(s) more than other brands, but diffidently get pair of White Fogs, Yellow Fogs, and Yellow Driving Combo. The driving combos are a tab brighter than my high beams. So if I need light for normal driving, headlights w/ white fogs. In low vis condition, yellow fogs. I sometimes I will use both yellow driving combo and yellow fogs without headlights (when no traffic is around). I also angled fogs towards the outside to give me even more light outward for the deer we have in my area.

They give off a lot of light. Would you mind sharing why you like the Morimotos? I am still trying to decide on which brand I want to buy so I am open to suggestions.

Is each pair on its own aux switch or did you do the white fogs on 1 aux switch and the 2 pair of yellow fogs on 1 aux switch?

Still waiting on the fogs so I haven't decided yet. If able, I would like to place the white fog on one up fitter, both pairs of yellow fogs on another, and the backlight feature on yet another.

Each pair are on their own aux switch. I got them from 4x4truckleds. Like yourself, I spent a lot of time debating own which fog lights to get. I chose the Morimoto's due the looks of the triangular design and their smaller size. But the main reason was that all three pairs are the HXBs. The HXBs put just as much light (technically a little more) than Diode Dynamics SS3 Max. I have a friend with SS3 Max, and two sets of SSC2 Pros. I honestly can't see a difference in output between my HXBs and his Max, but there is a noticeable difference between his SS3 Max and his SSC2 Pros. My Morimoto set-up is like having three pair of SS3 Max which due to the SS3 size you can't fit three pairs in our bumper. The only drawback is so backlighting, but I not a big fan of it anyways. My Baja Designs LP4s are backlight and hooked up to a dedicated AUX swtich but I always leave them off---I just prefer it that way.

There is a great You Tube comparison test titled:

You can with our harness. You'd just twist the 2 wires together to 1 upfitter.

So for example you can twist A & B together to 1 upfitter, put C on another upfitter and BL (that's the backlight control wire) on another upfitter.

OR you can use an add-a-fuse tap and put the BL into the fuse panel so it comes on when your truck comes on.

Yes, good to know as that is my plan, however I will put the BL circuit on a upfitter for my application. Thanks for the clarification and the ultra fast shipping!

Could you give us some linkage on where to order these parts from you guys? Seems pretty easy, but maybe some instructions too? The harness you sent seems really straightforward but I excel at making the easy hard.

It's just a generic item you can find on amazon

Here's a set of different sizes: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08QJHXRN6

Yes SAE Fogs are fog lights that are street legal. Used during normal driving conditions.

Yellow Fogs are better for bad weather, which is why we usually recommend folks do a set in white and a set in yellow. With yellow lights you don't get as much light due to the type of LED used, so going to a MAX for the Yellow Fogs does help out a lot.

The combo lights a good "off-road" style light. The SSC2 doesn't out out a lot of light but it's part of the kid. So a combo helps throw light a bit down range and around to the sides (for the flood part)

SAE Fogs can be used on the road be it Sport Pro or Max. They are down low and are fog lights.

Backlighting is for ALL the lights. Yes there's a slight glow, there is a photo on our product page that shows what that looks like.

For A-Pillars a Spot or Combo pattern is ideal in whatever size/budget you want to spend. We offer lots of kits but our Diode Dynamics kits are also 15% off right now

If you have the FACTORY safari bar we have a light bar kit here that works with it: https://www.4x4truckleds.com/30-lig...bronco-modular-bumper-w-kr-off-road-brackets/

If it's aftermarket though our kit may not work since it's designed to work with the fatory safari bar (or no bar at all)

The bar I have installed is below. Looks similar to the the one you have in the picture above on the blue bronco. Do you think the light bar you have in the link would work? If not any other suggestions for either a light bar or individual lights on a light bar bracket that may work with this?

SIL bought these Mabet Raptor style fog lights for my daughter. I helped her install them on Saturday.

It might not work because it angles too much and we did not design it for that bar. We designed it for the factory safari bar

Prerunner bars deserve that old-school-cool round light look, which will match the round Bronco lights.

The trick is going to be fitment. Need the measurement of between the main bar and the bumper to figure out the diameter of the lights to use.

I unfortunately didn't really like the look of the factory safari bar as it covered the Bronco logo so I went with this one not really thinking ahead because initially I only had intentions of adding fog lights but after seeing Broncos with the backlit bumper bars I really liked the look. I saw this modular light bar bracket from where I got the bumper bar from. The light bar seems to work with both the bumper bar I have as the same bumper is shown in 2 pictures as well as with individual lights. From my bumper to the bottom of the bar I have roughly 7-1/4". The bar probably sits 1" above the bumper leaving about 6-1/4" clear. Do you think individual lights from Diode, Baja, etc would work? If so what kind? As I said I am really looking for something that is backlit and functional as a combo light but for me its honestly more about the look of having backlit fogs and bumper lights as I'm driving down the road.

I’ve found that simply adding amber Lamin-x covers to the stock lights improve things quite a bit, look good, and cost basically nothing. Ran them on my Tacoma fogs for a long time and never felt the need to upgrade. I plan to put them on my Bronco here soon with the snow coming.
